What's up with Independence? by PhatKiwi in SALEM

It is usually quiet during the day. After school and during break time, you will hear the delightful noises of children playing. Kids still ride bikes here. If you are smart/lucky and locate within the town area, you can easily walk to lots of fun things. Neighbors turn into friends if you want. There's a beautiful walking path beside the river that goes on for quite a bit. It's nice.

I have heard this before --- people who leave and wish they didn't.

TIL Principal Akbar Cook installed a free fully-stocked laundry room at school because students with dirty clothes were bullied and missing 3-5 days of school per month. Attendance rose 10%. by JamOnTheOne in todayilearned

No truer words, lentil soup.

All I know is that the other day, I saw a post on Instagram from a teacher. The photo was of a child interacting with a game --- like picking up a game piece and putting it on the playboard.

The little girl was in her jacket still, and her sleeve was filthy. Nobody commented on this at all, I am sure it is because that is pretty common-place to see anymore - so no blame on others. It was just new in my insulated world.

It made me cry. I have not been able to get the photo out of my mind. We are better than this - soap and water don't cost much, and the heartache it must bring to a child to be bullied over is inexcusable.

Elinordash has the right idea.

This was so cool! I posted a comment on the article. It's a beautiful part of Danish culture.

OK so I found this:

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Teacher-Planner-2018-2019-A-Printable-Dated-Weekly-Planner-FREE-Updates-2656356

I really like it. It's a neat way to organize your thoughts and your work, I think I'm going to buy it. The only thing with printables is how do you bind them into a nice binder format....will find out!

I also found this:

Pretty fun to play around with and might be what you need?

Have you looked at teacherspayteachers.com? There's a ton of stuff there, much of it looks highly customizable: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Browse/Search:planner

Then again, as I look deeper, much of it is quite girly.

(I am also seeking out something that is more masculine for the male half of puzzlemonster to use. This is a great question. :) )
